trying to get a feel for how much natural gas a set of burners will be using, basically I'm looking for some help with my math.
two burners at 72,000 btu/hr = 144,000btu/hr.
my utility company bills me in therms (at 38 cents a therm), and I understand that a therm is = to 100,000btu. I'm assuming that means btu/hr.
so if both burners are running for an hour using 144,000btu, and I'm charged 38 cents for every 100,000 btu, should it cost me approximately 57cents for the hour?
I have a feeling that I'm wrong because that just seems too cheap.
